That's fine.

There are entertainments such as amazake and soup powder on the grounds.

There are many cherry blossoms in nearby Tsukuda Park and Ishikawajima Park.

"Tomeshi" soup rice made with tofu soaked with taste on rice.

You can eat it with the idea of an Edo kid.

Is it like fast food?

Tofu is purchased from Ningyocho Futaba.

In addition, oden's hampan and suji (fish) are used.

The product of Shigeru Nihonbashi. I'm glad that all of them are excellent seeds.

The nickname of March is Sakurazuki.

The cherry blossom season has come closer after repeating the three cold four temperatures.

　
The custom of cherry blossom viewing is part of the reform of Kyoho by Yoshimune Tokugawa.
Cherry trees are planted on Sumida River embankment, Asukayama, Gotenyama, etc.
It is said that it was the beginning of the festival.

"Shioume" is a seasoning that combines salt and plum vinegar with good taste.

It is also a word used to express the condition of things.

I did it.

By the way, Ginza Mikawa-ya, founded during the Genroku period.

It's "Senzake".

Umeboshi and flowers are added to sake and boiled down.

It is a seasoning that was indispensable for dining tables in the Edo period.

It was reproduced from the cooking book of the time.

The balance between the taste of bonito and the acidity and saltiness of umeboshi.

It's exquisite and good salt plum, and I think it goes well with various dishes.

The food of Edo and healthy slow food are being reviewed.

There is a shop facing Kinharu Street.
